Noel's obsession with beer continued to evolve, and as a result of an international hops shortage, he started to experiment with different flavours, including jasmine flowers, coriander seeds and green tea.

The brewery, which produces 4,000 litres of beer a week, is now housed in an old furniture store in St Paul's - although Noel and his brother still have the small garage where it all first started.

The brewery school is contained in a wooden Alpine cabin in the brewery, which has been brought over from the Netherlands.

The school is the first in the UK to be based on the site of a working brewery.

Those attending the classes will be able to watch the brewers in action.

Those signing up will be able to do either a one-day crash course or a five-day, more intensive course.

The course – led by tutor Johnny Mills - will teach students everything from the concept to the completion of making beer – including the mashing process and converting the starch into sugar from malted barley.
